Honey sriracha sauce recipe
Easy Honey Sriracha Sauce with a perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and spicy. Ready in 5 minutes, no cooking required. Versatile for any dish. Makes 1/2 cup.
Servings: 8 tablespoons
Ingredients
- ¼ cup sriracha sauce
- 2 tbsp honey or more for sweeter sauce
- 1.5 tbsp rice vinegar
- ½ tsp soy sauce
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp aged balsamic vinegar
- A small pinch Coarse sea salt
- 1 tbsp neutral flavored oil e.g. avocado oil
Instructions
- Mix ingredients: In a measuring cup, add sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, soy sauce, garlic powder, aged balsamic, and salt. Stir well.
- Emulsify: Slowly pour in the oil while whisking constantly until the sauce is smooth.
- Adjust taste: Add more honey for sweetness, more sriracha for heat, or more vinegar for tanginess.
Notes
- Aged Balsamic Substitute: Aged balsamic vinegar is matured for years in wooden barrels, giving it a rich, sweet, and complex flavor—perfect for drizzling. Regular balsamic, often mixed with wine vinegar and aged for a shorter time, is sharper and more acidic. If substituting, add a few pinches of brown sugar to regular balsamic to mimic the sweetness.
- Storage: Store in an airtight glass jar in the fridge for up to 1 month. Shake well before using.
